Enterprise software is also known as 'enterprise system.' Enterprise system is the software capable of performing every functionality of the business. Each functionality is handled by a subsystem of the enterprise software. Hence, it can be referred to as a package of subsystems. Some of the characteristics of this package are as follows.
Nature of the software
Enterprise software is developed outside the business by other party (software developing team). It is designed according to the requirements specified by the business to the developing team. Thus, the nature of this enterprise software depends on the business. It has to work according to the needs of business. It might be necessary to share this software with others outside the business or make it unavailable to some people within the business. Here the nature of the software is changing.
The users of this software are trained on how to use it through the interface. They are unaware about the internal coding and how it actually works. Therefore, it might be tough for the users to understand the nature of the software.
Timely changes
Enterprise software is designed as per the requirements of the business at the time of development. It is very likely that the business functioning changes often. The functioning of the business varies depending on the market trend, added functionalities, competition from other businesses and loss/profits of the business. In such scenario, there is a strong need to modify the enterprise software.
The changes in the business software are very important with the change in the functionality of the business. This is because the changes affect the business. Frequent updating of the software yields good results and helps improve business's efficiency.
Some situations where changes in the software required are
Integrating new technologies
Enterprise software is a group of computer programs coded using some computer programming language or utility tools. Thus, knowingly or unknowingly the business or organization is using the technology.
It is quite common in the technical market that the technologies always change. It is more likely that the programming language or the utility/development tools used to develop the enterprise software also change. Then, the business organizations should update technology they are using. This could become a difficult task for the businesses to do it on their own. In a situation like that, they could contact the developers of the software who have thorough knowledge of the software to complete the task.
Sometimes it may be necessary to install the new technologies or software s to support the existing software. Otherwise there is a danger of software malfunctioning which may cause damage to the business.
It may also be the case with the hardware devices the business uses. For example, let us assume that a particular business has expanded considerably in a period. The data or the records will increase in number and the storage space allocated to the software by the organization may not accommodate all the data. Then, they have to increase the storage capacity.

Some situations where changes in the software required are
- Changes in the business database
- Adding or removing an internal organization with the businesses
- Collaborating with other businesses, etc.
